HELP! Did I brick my new note 3? :(

Hey guys. Ive had a note 3 before in the past and have used the Root DelaVega to root successfully. This was early in the year. I sold my old note 3 for an HTC One. Well today i traded my HTC One back for a note 3 as i missed the Note 3. As soon as i came home i attempted to use the Root DelaVega method to foot (just like i did before) and immediately it failed.
I have been stuck on a screen saying "firmware update encountered an issue - select recovery in Kies" so i tried Kies 3.2 however it says my device is not compatible. Come to find out after doing research (talking to the original owner i traded my HTC One for) the Note 3 i have is on the latest version of KitKat 4.4.2 that is not compatible with the Root DelaVega method or any root method - so i screwed that up. I can successfully boot in and out of download mode. Ive tried to flash N900XXUDNA6 4.4.2 in Odin several times, it begins then fails almost immediately and the bar on the phone itself (in download mode) begins then freezes shortly after beginning. Ive also tried to flash N900XXUDNC1 JellyBean thru odin and get the same results - almost immediately fail and the blue status bar on the phone freezes when it barley begins. What else can i do??? am i totally screwed? Ive been researching and trying to fix this for 6 straight hours now! My gf is about to kill me for being online so long Is there anything i can do at this point? Am i stuck
[UPDATE] .after looking around all day i have found i am able to successfully flash the n900a AP, CP, and PIT files, however the problems seems to be whenever i try to flash a Bootloader file. The update gives me the error on the phone "SW REV CHECK FAIL" FUSED 3 BINARY 2. My knox counter is still 0x0. By flashing the at&t AP, PIT, and CP files the phone now boot loops and no longer takes me to the screen requesting me to restore thru KIES. However all it does it bootloop. I try to boot into recovery and it will tell me at the top left of the screen "booting recovery" but then just turn off and go right back to the "samsung galaxy note 3 screen" Does anything have any idea here?????

if you have a att note 3 you might be screwed both the firmwares you list are not for our phone your best bet would be to go to a best buy or att service center and seee if they can reflash your phone

Is there a tar for the AT&T firmware? I've searched but this was all I could find.

Yeah, it seems that the N900XXUDNA6 is not for the US Variant
"N900XXUDNA6 Android 4.4.2 KitKat official firmware update for Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900 is now rolled out by Samsung. This is the first KitKat official firmware for Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900. The firmware update rolled out in various countries including Sri Lanka, Nepal, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Russia, Thailand and India"
The DNA6 would be for the SM-N900 Exynos CPU devices, not the SM-N900A Snapdragon. That is probably your problem (In addition to trying to roll back to JB from KK)
Unfortunately, I dont know of any stock KitKat firmware. There is MI9 on Samfirmware's site, but that is JB not KitKat

You could try to stop the boot, go back into Recovery and wipe cache, and wipe all data. I had an experience with my last device (SGSIII) that would boot loop sometimes when flashing back to a stock ROM.
Other than that, I dont have any other ideas
Just Googled the "SW REV CHECK FAIL" FUSED 3 BINARY 2", from what I found the Fused 3 means you were on Kit Kat, and Binary 2 basically means you are trying to downgrade to JB

It wont let me even boot into recovery. I hold the buttons and it boots back up saying "booting into recovery" like it is, then it just boot loops again.

The only other things I saw on that, suggested to users(on a different Samsung device) to use a jig to get it back into recovery. I am not familiar enough with the N3 yet to know if a jig will work on our devices. My guess is you messed up the bootloaders
Edit** I think that since things are so locked down that your best bet might be to try what jerrycoffman45 suggested a few posts ago

My local at&t and best buy aren't very helpful for anything at all. ill keep googling ive been at this for 2 days now

There is no firmware to download for 4.4.2 yet so you are stuck till there is or do what I suggested you could also do a warranty exchange by calling att and you can't just go to any att store it has to be a service center

[Q] Stuck in boot loop on T-Mobile Galaxy S6

Hey all,
I'm a noob when it comes to rooting Android phones and everything that comes along with it. This morning I attempted my SM-G920T using the Chainfire auto-root method (downloaded an application called Odin v. 3.07), got my phone into Odin mode, and did everything that was required. Then the application log just got stuck at " NAND Write Start!!!" and wouldn't go from there. Ten minutes pass, and I reboot the phone into Odin mode, and then download a different version of Odin (3.10.6 I think it was). I used the same tar.md5 file that came with the first Odin 3.07 and used it with this second version, 3.10..6. This time, the log ran the long list of commands and ended with a PASS!! Then, on the phone's screen, a little blue Android guy with an eyepatch appeared and ran another list of commands. It looked like SuperSU got installed. But that's where the excitement ended. Now my phone won't even boot past the "Galaxy S6 - Powered by Android" logo. It just keeps booting over and over again, to that same screen, and I'm not sure how to undo or correct what I did! Any info and help on the matter is definitely appreciated.

Boot into download mode again and retry, make sure on Odin 3.10 nothing is checked. Let it download and when it's done, you might have to manually reboot like I did because it looks like it's stuck on download mode.. just hold vol down home and power til it resets.. after it resets if will launch chainfire, and will reboot a couple times, don't touch it til it's fully booted.

Wow...that fixed it! Thank you so much!

are you sure this is correct verbatim? when i re-ran with auto-reboot and F.reset off, odin failed. and then it kept failing even when i tried again with them checked again. had to try a bunch of times to get odin just to pass again. now it has (w/ auto-reboot checked), and i'm back to this boot loop thing, going back forth between a blue android character screen and a b&w S6 Edge screen (yes, i have an Edge, but am guessing they are similar for this purpose). Thanks.
sorry! i should add that i gave up on chainfire and rooting here, what i'm describing is simply using odin to go back to stock. i just want the phone to work again.

Try 3.10.6 of Odin, it is currently bundled with cf auto root. 3.10 did not work for me either.

Hi.
I flashed the wrong recovery image, with the flash app. Now my S6 hangs up at the boot. Only the screen "Samsung Galaxy S6 - Powered..." was shown. I cannot turn the device off. I can press Vol- Power and Home, the S6 restarts and hang up again. I try also to get into the download menu, but it won't work. Any idea? Now I wait for the battery is empty and try tomorrow again to get into the download menu. But maybe somebody has a better solution for me?

Is my phone bricked? Please help~

i tired rooting my t-mobile s6 [SM-G920T] running on 5.1.1 last night with the method outlined by the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...recovery-twrp2-8-6-0-g925t-5-1-1-of6-t3143002
it took me a few attempts, but i thought i finally got root... it turns out my digitizer's x-axis somehow got messed up during some process [when i touch the right side of the screen, it selects left, and vise-versa]
now i can't even turn on my phone... when i try, the splash screen simply tells me "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" and "custom binary blocked by FRP lock"
i tried taking it back to the t-mo store since i just got the phone yesterday, but "no exchanges on rooted devices...":crying:
is there any way for me to fix my problem? please advise, thank you.

Try Odin my friend or smart switch..

since i upgraded to 5.1.1 before i attempted all this, i need the G920TUVU2COF6 md5 file... i was using the 5.0.2 version: G920TUVU1AOCG
maybe that is why it kept failing... i am downloading the right version right now and will give it a try.
i really hope it works... if not, i don't know what else i can try

You flashed twrp recovery for the G925T edge.
Try this before doing anything else. If it works, thank edgarf28.
The next time you flash something, double check that it is correct for your phone before flashing :good:

i tried that, but no success...
i was able to odin the 5.1.1 file, but the digitizer was still messed up.
but now with a bootable stock rom, i took the phone into the store and they exchanged it for me in 15 minutes.

Was it booting into odin? These situations are weird because if odin reads and the phone at least boots to Samsung screen I try and have succeeded on all occasions at un-soft-bricking.

i was able to put the phone into download mode... since i updated to 5.1.1 before i began the root process, i had to use the G920TUVU2COF6 md5 file instead of the G920TUVU1AOCG in odin to restore.

you can recover your phone using stock G920TUVU2COF6, i recovered my phone from same issue.

Unfortunately, Samsung Pay Stub has stopped (after Odin 5.1.1 Flash)

Hey guys,
I need a little help for all your expertise please!
I have a AT&T S6 (SM-G920A) on the AT&T network. I bought the phone with 5.0.2 on it and really wanted to get Samsung Pay. I follow the instructions on the forums to use ODIN 3.10.7 to get to 5.1.1 (Baseband G20AUCU3BOI2).
Flashed all BL, AP, CP and CSC files. The phone flashed successfully but when it booted up, it stayed stuck on the Samsung screen and never went beyond that. I reflashed the AP file and got the phone to boot fine after that. When the OS loaded up, I didn't have AT&T network APN for LTE/mobile data. I found that quite strange since I know it's tied to the CSC file. So I tried to flash the phone again with just AP and CSC, which succeeds but then boots to the AT&T logo and hangs. So back to flashing the AP file and it books up fine again.
Once I get signed into my Samsung and Google account on the phone I click on the Samsung Pay logo in the App drawer. It takes a few minutes "Loading" then the Samsung Pay Install Screen shows. The phone spins for a minute then Samsung Pay closes and the error "Unforunately, Samsung Pay Stub has stopped."
Anyone have any ideas on what this could be? I've tried Odin 3.10.6 and 3.10.7, I've tried downloading G20AUCU3BOI2 from different sources as well.
Thanks for any help!

Sounds like you performed the correct flashing steps on Odin but forgot to perform a factory reset after flashing the BL, AP, CP and CSC files. All the Odin guides I've read recommend to perform one. Reflash the 5.1.1 Odin files. Once it boots, turn off the phone. The hold Power+Vol Up+Home Key to enter bootloader. Then choose factory reset. This is how I performed it.

Thanks so much for the tip, I feel like I've tried that but I'm going to do it again. I'll try anything at this point!
Update: Tried it but did not work. I tried to leave it on the Samsung load screen for 10+ minutes with no results.

Not sure how this helps me? I am on B0I2.

soft-bricked odin passes same result

so i recently got a note 3 from a friend to fix for her. it boots to the samsung logo then vibrates and reboots over and over, recovery just says "booting recovery" then it goes blank and reboots to the same booting recovery screen, shes doesnt know what version it had prior to bricking. she said one day it was working then turned off and never back on again, the odin mode screen had a2, a3 on it ill post a pic later anyway i can get into download mode so i figured id just flash with odin and be good, i tried to narrow down the proper firmware with the a3, but after flashing nc2, nl1, oc1, im still stuck odin says everything passed, i tried flashing the big main file, tried flashing them in each box at the same time, even tried it with the pit file, tried flashing with odin 3.9 and 3.10.7. same result odin says passed still cant access recovery or os. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Open Odin, uncheck everything except f reset time, flash rom. When you see reset on the statutes window, remove USB cable from the phone, remove battery, wait 5 seconds, replace battery, boot directly into recovery, perform a factory wipe, reboot.

does it matter what version i flash? since im not really sure what version it had prior?

I can't figure out how to upload a photo I have xda 4.0, and can't post outside links yet. Anyway
It says
Product name:N900A
Current binary: Samsung official
System status official
Knox void status 0x0
Qualcomm Secureboot enabled(csb)
Ap swrev s2 t2 a2 a3 p2
Secure download enable
Udc start
Hope that helps

Ran Odin again with the settings you said, after the battery pull the phone says recovery booting, then turned off vibrated twice then same screen again and again. Thanks for the suggestion though any our ideas? I was searching and thought I seen somewhere that to unbrick it it needs to be the same firmware it had before, but I don't know what that was.

You should probably ask her if she had Lollipop. If she did then that narrows it down to OC1 or OC2.

She doesn't know, not very phone literate as far as software, any ideas? I read in another thread to flash a modified version of nc2 but can't seem to find that version, this is the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2703006
Don't know if I can't find it, kinda confusing as far as what I need, like I said I've tried everything except oc2 cant find a link I've tried googling, and that thread says Odin files but can't find a full one for oc2, there's ones for safestrap but can't find Odin
